Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human IL-12/IL-23 p40
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human IL-12/IL-23 p40
Two-color flow cytometric analysis of IL-12/IL-23 p40 expression in stimulated Human monocytes.  Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were preincubated (2 hr) with Recombinant Human IFN-γ (Cat. No. 554617/554616; 10 ng/ml). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Sigma, Cat. No. L-2654; 1.0 μg/ml) and BD GolgiStop™ Protein Transport Inhibitor (containing Monensin) [Cat. No. 554724] were then added to the IFN-γ-primed cells which were further cultured overnight. The cells were harvested, washed with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) [Cat. No. 554656], stained with FITC Mouse Anti-Human CD14 antibody (Cat. No. 555397) and fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655). The cells were then permeabilized and stained in BD Perm/Wash™ Buffer (Cat. No. 554723) with either Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 568947; Left Plot) or Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human IL-12/IL-23 p40 antibody (Cat. No. 570331/570407; Right Plot) using BD Biosciences Intracellular Cytokine Staining protocol. The bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of IL-12/IL-23 p40 (or Ig Isotype control staining) versus CD14 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact monocytes. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo™ Software.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.  However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

Product Notices

  1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
  2. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
  3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  4. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  5. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
  6. For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

C8.6

The C8.6 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human IL-12 p40 that is encoded by IL12B (interleukin 12B). The antibody binds to IL-12 p40 monomers and homodimers as well as to the p40 subunit of the heterodimeric cytokines, IL-12 p70 (p35/p40) and IL-23 (p19/p40). These cytokines are produced by a variety of cells, including activated monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. IL-12 p40 monomers and homodimers can block the binding of heterodimeric IL-12 to its receptor.  IL-12 promotes the generation of Th1 cells and activates NK cells, Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1), and cytotoxic T cells leading to production of IFN-γ, TNF, granzymes, and perforin. IL-23 promotes the generation and activation of Th17 cells and other effector cells, including γδ T cells, NKT cells, MAIT cells, and ILC3 that can produce cytokines including IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, GM-CSF, TNF, and IL-6. The immunogen used to generate the C8.6 hybridoma was the purified p40 subunit of human IL-12. The C8.6 antibody is a neutralizing antibody and can reportedly inhibit the biological activities of IL-12 and IL-23.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
